If you only want the first group of filled cells on a row then:

Sub sl()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = ActiveSheet
sh.Range("B1", Range("B1").End(xlToRight)).Name = "myName"
MsgBox Range("myName").Address
End Sub

I'm only interested in one row at a time. If I have values in B1, C1, D1
and nothing in E1, but continue with values in F1, etc. I want the macro
to create a NamedRange of B1:D1, regardless of the content of any other
row. The values in my cells are all numbers presently, but hopefully the
macro would also work with text values....no formulas now, but as you say
"if they return the empty string (""), then you consider that to be an
"empty cell".........that would be icing on the cake.

Tks for the interest

"Extra points"...... if the macro would also return the Column
number/letter of the rightmost cell in the newly NamedRange.

Do you mean the first empty cell in a column to the right of B1 no matter
what row that cell is in (as long as it is not below the last piece of
data in Column B)?

Also, what is in your cells... data or formulas? If formulas, I guess if
they return the empty string (""), then you consider that to be an "empty
cell", right?

Well.........further testing shows that this code skips over empty cells
and includes all cells out to the last filled in the row. That's not
exactly the way I wanted it. I just wanted the contiguious ones from B1
rightward to the first empty one.

Tks anyway,

This might be more than you need, but it assigns the name and then
tests to make sure that it took.

Sub dk()
Dim lc As Long, rng As Range
lc = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("B1", ActiveSheet.Cells(1, lc))
rng.Name = "myRange"
Range("myRange").Interior.ColorIndex = 3
End Sub

Hi All.......
I need help please to create a Named Range of all the cells with
values
therein starting at cell B1 and continuing through all contigunious
cells
with values to the right in the same row only. If there be a broken
column,
then all cells to the right of that break need not be included.

Tks,
Vaya con Dios,
